Agriculture. Agriculture furnishes the whole ma terials of manufactures, and lays th groundwork of commerce.

Germany. (From Strang'a Travels in Germany) HARMLESSNESS OF MANNERS.-Speaking of ilie amusements of the Hamburghers, the author remarks the good taste and feeling which prevail respecting the out of-door amusements of the people. Na rioting, no intoxication, and consequent ly no fighting or confusion-and best ol all, no destruction of objects in nature or an. " Among the thousand and one things we have seen here, nothing has struck us so much as the innumerable gardens, pleasure-grounds, walks and villas, that surround on every side this busy mart. '1 hough the walks are open to the poorest, and trodden by the young not a rosebud is plucked, not a shrub destroyed, not a tree touched. The wanton and mischievous spirit too often displayed in other countries, is here unknown ; the combined bumps of destructiveness and tastelessness, as the phrenologists would call it, have appa rently no home in a Hamburgh head. Here the impelling spirit of * destruc tiveness' goes no farther than to q...

Sydney News. INTERCOLONIAL JEALOUSIES-We have j often deprecated that system of petty jealousy* which is always obtruded upon the public when the affairs of the different Australasian Colonies are discussed, in the course of which jpepple with inconceivable short-sight ^r^6» endeavour to -enhance J&amp;jt merit* ot the one at the expense of the other Nor is the petty desire of claiming particular ag grandizeuient confined to the separate colo nies and their advocates, but is perpetually breaking out even among different districts of the same colony, some of which are represented to be in the most flonrishiug condition, while others are stated to be ia a position of utter prostration and ruin.
